YOURG MEN'S AMBITION
I.KAU.H TO EFFORTS IN XI.XV ATlNti
POLITICS AND KLEMeNTS
OF CITIZENSHIP
GOV. LINE'S IDEA ABOUT IT
In Politics, He Saj», the Ri^lU
Tli l n » I» Sometime* \\ rout* and
the Wrong ThinK Sometime* IUI
-atively Hi^ht — Ho to the Vuuas
Man to Briu.tr About Any Needed
Reform In Affalrn.
"In politics the right thing is some
times wrong, and the wrong thing some
times relatively rig-lit," said Gov. John
Lind, in his address before an audience
at the Y. M. C. A, upon "The Young
Man In Politics."
"This statement sounds paradoxical,
but it is probably true In a great many
cases. Our conclusions would be that St.
Paul would be a better city if it owned
its own electric plant and street cars.
If these municipal improvements are to
be paid for by the public, then the public
should make and control them. On the
other hand, you say that municipal own
ership is comparatively an experiment
and is relatively wrong; that customs
and the ideas of the people are prejudiced
against such departures. There you have
the two illustrations of the statement.
When I was a boy there was not a town
or city that owned its electric light plant,
and today many of our cities not only
own their electric plants, but many other
like Improvements. By and by public
opinion may warrant St. Paul"s having
an electric plant of its own.
"In politics you have to recognize hu
man prejudices. To ride on the top wave
of public opinion is called statesmanship.
It is unwise to seek to accomplish any
thing ahead of the demand of the times
or public opinion and prejudices. Public
sentiment is always necessary. What,
then, should be more proper than that
our young men should strive to mold
public sentiment of any and every com
munity in favor of good, right and just
laws? We have two elements in citizen
ship. The passive element vote this or
that ticket because their fathers did and
look to their ease, and are to a degree In
different to matters of the greatest vital
interest to our land. The active ele
ment Is found chiefly among the young
men. They reason: This or that practice
or custom is right or wrong. A strong
motive incites them to look up and for
ward to better things, and primarily to
elevate , politics and elements of citizen
ship.
"If you want to bring about a reform of
the nation's affairs or of this city, go to
the young men. The old man has social
relations, is tied down with his family
and loves his ease, perhaps. His wife will
say: 'John, the earth was here a long
time before you happened along, and
there is no use of your fretting about
these matters. 1 The young man wants
the best for his country, and he will work
for it."
Gov. Lind here pointed out that some
of the greatest and best movements the
world had ever seen were made by young
men. The Reformation, that great pop
ular movement of the Teutonic races,
protesting against the authority and cus
toms of the Latin races, was led by a
young man. He mentioned Patrick
Henry, Jefferson, Hamilton and Madison,
all as strong men in their youth.
Gov. Lind urged social activity in all
lines. The gradual steps of humanity
through the ages had evolved from the
lower stages to the magnificent complex
civilization of today. Tho lowly and
small beginnings had developed into the
wonderful present.
"Public spirit." said the governor, "Is
not quite as strong as private enterprise.
Many people are very persistent in bet
tering their own condition and that of
their family, but do not think of others.
What we want is co-operation in every
thing. The development of the universe
is founded upon the word co-operation.
"The young man should begin to study,
and the old man continue to study. The
women are just as much Interested in
this as their companions. Why should
they not be? They share with us our
joya and sorrows and live In our homes."
Here the governor paid a tribute to the
women on the suffrage question. He was
not present to argue the question of
suffrage, he said, but if they wanted it
he thought they should have suffrage, or
anything they wanted. In Wyoming and
Idaho their influence had been an agency
to purify politics. »
Studying politics was studying the art
of administering laws and carrying on
the government. Politics did not mean
the putting up of jobs to carry caucasses,
but was far above that.
The governor asserted that the ballot
of the young man carried just as much
weight as that of the most influential
and substantial citizen in the community,
and urged with much fervor that it 3 In
fluence be made a power for good at the
polls.

SCHOCH'S GROCERY OPENING.
Sew Store Waa Formally Opened to
the Pnblle.
Schoch's new grocery at Seventh and St.
Peter streets was opened yesterday and
a throng of patrons filled the store all
day and evening. The new establishment
was Li c recipient of many compliments,
being one of the finest as to commodious
ness and location in the Northwest.
The new store is deserving- of more
than passing notice, possessing, as it
does, facilities for the handling of an
enormous traffic, unexcelled anywhere in
the United States. There are three en
trances, one on St. Peter street, one on
Seventh and one at the corner. The in
terior Is arranged with every provision
for the comfort and convenience of pat
rons, the cigar, candy, poultry, "butter,
fruit, vegetable, as well as staple and
general departments, occupying spacious
quarters of their own, where goods can
be admirably displayed. Personal inspec
tion is necessary in order to appreciate
the good points of the new, up-to-date
emporium, whose tasty and elegant fur
nishings and new and artistic appoint
ments were favorably commented on as
in one voice.

O'Brien, at Cretin hall last evening. It
has been customary to hold those meet
ings publicly and in large halls hereto
fore, but the order chose to hold a secret
session on this occasion, and about 300
met and passed strong resolutions of sym.
pathy with the Boers in their struggle
now going on with England. A private
purse was raised by members at the
meeting for the express purpose of ser.a
ing something stronger than resolutions
to Africa by a special envoy.

Judge Otis yesterday filed a decision in

order dismissing the action for want of

complaint was served. The defendant
made no answer and the plaintiff would
have been entitled to Judgment by de
fault at the end of twenty days, In which
case the defendant could have deducted
$10 costs as a penalty for having brought
suit in the district court for such a trivial
sum. Nothing more was done by the
plaintiff until last August, and now the
court holds that the matter Is thrown
out by the statute of limitations.

MISSION UNDECIDED AS TO
GRINDELAKD BILL BONDS
COMMISSION DEALERS PLEAD
They Thlnlt the State Board Has
the Power to Make F.K-rplloni !
Where There In a Manifest liijun
tice to the Merchants Involved
In the WorLins of tin* Ten Per
Cent Bond Requirement.
A delegation of Minneapolis commission
men were before the state railroad and
warehouse commission yesterday for In
formation concerning the Grlndeland bill
and further enlightenment. Several ap- |
plications for blanks were made, and the
question of the amount of the bond waa
again brought up. It is contended now,
both by the commission men and by many
prominent members of the bar, that the
10 per cent clause Is an lnjuattoe. The
duty of fixing the amount of the required
bond rests with the commission, accord-
Ing to the terms of the law.
The question was raised that, under
the circumstance.-:, the requirements were
unjust, and that since the law fixed the
duty of regulating the amount of the
bond upon the commission, It was empow
ered to mako exceptions, and upon an in
spection and the production of satisfac
tory evidence, could modify the require
ments where an injustice was apparent.
The commissioners" were of the opinion
that the method of arbitrarily fixing a
bond requirement, to be met by a dozen
diversified classes of commission men,
was unsatisfactory. Commisisoner Rlng
dal was of the opinion that upon the
production of a company's books, or oth
er conclusive evidence, the commission
could make a modification In the 10 per
cent clause, and fix the bond in a safe
and reasonable sum.
ASSEMBLY AGREES THERETO.
Specifications for Gas and Electric
Lighting: Arc Accepted.
The specifications for gas and electric
street lighting for next year, as adopted
by the board of aldermen Tuesday night,
were concurred in at the meeting of the
assembly last evening. Attorney Carl
Taylor, representing the gas company,
explained the changes. There had been a
misunderstanding, he said, at the meeting
of the aldermen, when the statement wa3
made that the city, If the specifications
were adopted, would have to pay $27 per
lamp per year. The contract price per
lamp would be $23, and to this would have
to be added about $2 for interest on gas
mains and posts on each lamp in service.
As there would be only an increase of
twenty arc lights next year, and half
of this number would be In public parks,
there would be no removals of gas
lamps and consequently no charge for re
movals. It had also been stated at the
present meeting of the aldermen that the
city was paying more for gas than pri
vate consumers. He read from statistics
presented at the meeting of the League
of American Municipalities figures show
ing that, on the basis of 20,000 cubic f«et
consumed in each lamp, and the cost of
maintenance at $9.40 per lamp, the city
was getting its light at the rate of 80
cents per 1,000 feet, while private con
sumers were paying $1.30.
Assemblyman Albrecht opposed the
adoption of the specifications for the rea
son that the legal department of the city
had advised against the changes.
If the city, as a matter of fact, was to
pay the gas company $27 or $25 per lamp,
it was well to let the public know the ex
act price to be paid. For years th« city
had been masquerading under the con
tract which called for $23 per lamp, while
as a matter of fact the price, including
the interest, was nearer $27 than $23 per
year. Minneapolis was getting gas for
its lamps at $1 per 1,000 feet, and St. Paul
was paying more than other cities. If
the specifications would raise the price
per lamp to ?27 he was in favor of the
public knowing It.
Attorney George C. Squires, speaking
for the gas company, said Mr. A'brecht
was mistaken in saying the lamps cost
the city $27 per year.
Mr. Albrecht, In reply, contended that
because the representatives of the gas
company stated that the cost of mainte
nance was $9.40 per lamp, was no reason
It was so. In Minneapolis the cost of
maintenance was $7, which was $2 less
than In St. Paul. It was plain that if
the city paid $23 per lamp for lighting
and $2 additional for interest on each
live post, the price would be $25 per lamp,
besides the charge of $4 for removals.
Corporation Attorney Markham stated
that there could be but one bid sub
mitted for lighting the city with gas and
electric lights, and this condition would
prevail as long as the city was forced
to let the contract for no longer period
than one year. There had been talk of
a charter commission, and, if there was
one, the charter should be modified so
as to allow lighting contracts for a pe
riod of years. This would allow other
firms to come Into the city and compete.
So long as the present conditions existed
the gas company could dictate terms. He
advised that the Interest clause be elim
inated, and the company should bid a
price per lamp which would cover all ex
penses.
Assemblyman Benson took the ground
that there was no need of adopting speci
fications on which the gas company
would not submit bids. If the council
wanted to use Incandescent gasoline
lamps, instead of gas, advertise for pro
posals for this kind of lighting. If the
city wanted gas and electric lighting, then
adopt specifications which the gas com
pany would make a bid on. The specifi
cations, as adopted by the board, were
agreed to by a vote of 6 to 2, Messrs. Al
brecht and Thompson voting in the nega
tive. The resolution directing the city
clerk to advertise for bids, to be opened
Dec. 7, for gas and electric lighting, was
passed by a vote of 7 to 1, the only nega
tive vote being Mr. Albrecht. President
Dlx was absent.
The award of the contract for gasoline
lighting to the American Development
company at $16.56 per lamp was agreed to
by a vote of 7 to 1, Mr. Albrecht voting
In the negative.
An ordinance directing the street rail
way company to extend Its Lafayette
and Rondo line, on Maryland avenue,
from Greenbrier to Earl streets, was pre
sented by Assemblyman Nelson. Assem
blyman Benson moved a suspension of the
rules and the passage of the ordinance,

Mr. Nelson explained that the line would

objection on the part of the company.
A motion to refer to the committee on

LOOPHOLE FOR GUION
SENATOR IVE9 TRIES TO FIND ONE
IN THE INDICTMENT FOR
MURDER
QUESTION AS TO HIS INTENT
In One Place the Indictment Charges
Him With Seeking the Death of
Justice Smith, In Another With
Planning to Kill Miller, Whom
He Did Shoot— His Arraignment Is
Delayed.
Fred E. Guion, charged with the mur
der of James Miller, appeared before
Judge Bunn yesterday, in the district
court, accompanied by John H. Ives, his
attorney, who filed a demurrer to the In
dictment. The matter was set for hear
ing at special term tomorrow.
The demurrer is based on two grounds
one that it is not sufficiently direct in
setting forth whether the killing of Miller
was premeditated, or whether there was
a premeditated design on the part of the
defendant to kill Joseph Smith. The
other objection was based on the claim
that the indictment charged two' offenses,
the killing of Miller bji premeditated de
sign and also with killing Miller with a
premeditated design against the life of
Joseph Smith.
The formal arraignment of Guion was
delayed at the request of counsel.
DISTRIBUTION OF FRY.
State Game and Fish Commission
Complete* Season's Work.
The Minnesota game and fish commis
sion has Just completed the annual dis
tribution of nsh fry in the rivers and
lakes of the state, and no more young
fish will be shipped from the hatchery
until next spring.
In round numbers the commission has
placed 2,500,000 trout fry, nearly 1,000,000
pike, 275,000 croppies and 52,000 bass.
With this distribution the commission
still has on hand over 500,000 trout eggs
that are being hatched and an equal
number of the other varieties.
Owing to the continued high water In
the spring the distribution this year is
materially less than in the past. The
Mississippi river was on the rampago
three times, and during the period when
the commission usually accomplishes the
best results. The water was so disturbed
and high in Pike river that the commis
sion was unable to secure the usual sup
ply of young pike from that point, and
there was a corresponding scarcity of
bass, owing to the disturbed condition of
the Mississippi.
Executive Agent Beutner stated yester
day that the commission would attempt
to blast the rocks out of Pike river, east
of Vermillion lake, at the point where
the fish are usually netted and stripped
of their eggs. Last spring the rushing
torrent made it an impossibility to cap
ture the fish, as the river Is full of large
rocks. A few days' work with dynamite
will clear a space large enough to per
mit the use of nets in case the water
again reaches the high-wat^r mark.
The great bulk of the fry were placed
In Wlnona and St. Louis counties. The
former county has perhaps the greatest
number of improved trout streams of any
locality in the state. The North shore
of Lake Superior is also noted for its
secluded retreats for the gamy trout and
has perhaps more streams than Winona
county, but few of them have been stock
ed previous to this yoar. Mr. Beutner
reports that a great many applications
have been received for fry from St. Louis
county, and an unusually large number
of fish have been put in the north shore
streams. "The commission," said Mr.
Beutner yesterday, "is paying particular
attention to trout culture, as It was pri
marily organized to keep the streams
stocked with trout. We have several
thousand breeders at the hatchery and
rely upon these entirely for our supply.
"Taken right through, fishing has not
been particularly good this year, as the
water has been very high.
"The open season on deer closed Mon
day; tomorrow the five days' time for get
ting the game out of the woods expires.
Owing to the absence of snow, hunters
have not been as successful as they
would. If they had been able to track the
game. I only know of one moose being
brought into Duluth. It weighed 1,500
pounds. Moose are, however, quite plen
tiful in Lake and St. Louis counties, but
as soon as the shooting begins they travel
far into the interior."

SIX MONTHS AT BTILLWATER.
Mnud WorthinKton's Sentence for
Having Two Hnabaud ...
During the past twelve years Maria
Bentley, alias Maud Worthlngton. haa
had four husbands to whom she was le
gally united, as she told Judge Bunn yes
terday in the district court, where she
appeared for sentence on a conviction for
bigamy. When, after telling her story,
the court decided that, in view of palliat
ing circumstances, six months in the pen
itentiary would wipe out the offense
against society, Mrs. Bentley gracefully
thanked the judge.
The prisoner told the court that she
was twenty-six years old, and born In
Cedar Rapids, 10., where she was turned
out to shift for herself at the age of six.
Consequently she had never gone to
school. When she was fourteen she em
barked for the first time upon the sea
of matrimony by marrying Mr. Bentley,
who died about a year later. Her next
husband was one Worthington, who se
cured a Dakota divorce. The third on the
list was Joe Holzern, a Minneapolis
young man, who eventually received a
workhouse sentence for drunkenness.
Left to her own resources, Mrs. HoJ
zern became 01 and then Pasquale San
tillo came upon the seen* 1 . He paid bills
and attended to the nursing, and when
Mrs. Holzern recovered he told her that
Holzern's workhouse sentence invalidated
the marriage. Warmly he urged his suit.
and the result was that Mrs. Holzern was
made Mra. Santillo by Court Commission
er Gallick. Holzern and Santillo were
both in court when sentence was pro
nounced. Both profess to still care for
their erring wife.
